Description

Gonatodes albogularis albogularis is a diurnal gecko species found in a variety of habitats in the neotropical realm, even thriving in human-altered environments. Its unique behavior involves females defending areas with high-quality food sources while males stake out large territories encompassing several females. Gonatodes albogularis albogularis displays sexual dichromatism, with females being more subdued in color to camouflage against predators.

Diet

Gonatodes albogularis albogularis primarily subsists on a diet of small arthropods such as spiders and insects. It showcases a particular preference towards coleopterans and dipterans, partially dictated by environmental availability.

Appearance

Gonatodes albogularis albogularis is a small, slim-bodied gecko with smooth, scaled skin. Its dominant color is a vibrant blend of yellow and orange, accentuated by scattered, irregular-shaped black spots. It has thin limbs ending in five digits and a long, tapering tail. Both sexes are similar, but males exhibit a more vivid color palette. In youth, these geckos are more uniformly colored, the spotting pattern emerging as they mature.

Behavior

Gonatodes albogularis albogularis is known for its diurnal, solitary behavior, with males typically displaying territorial aggression. Primarily arboreal, this species spends most of its time in small trees and bushy vegetation. Its survival is aided by its camouflage ability against bark and leaf litter, and it exhibits a distinctive head-bobbing display when faced with threats.
